My main printer up until last month was powered by an Arduino Mega. Like not even an “Arduino-compatible ATMEGA 2560-based 3D printer control board” an Arduino Mega, with the infinity ± logo. Reprap style.

my current printer is powered by an arduino mega best appliances are the ones you can control yourself if you need to. 😉
all parts you can find at a hardware store + some 3d printed pieces. repraps and foss printers are the best period.

I am the owner of a brand new Prusa MK4S. A lot of its components aren’t open source, but it’s an i3, I can keep it running, and I can hit its wifi module with a hammer if I want to.

Funny enough, guns can be made from a handful of hardware store parts.

That didn’t work well for that doctor that was murdered by ICE.

hardware store parts didn’t work out so well for Shinzo Abe too.

Very frustrating to see people confuse Gun Ownership with Being Bulletproof.
As though you’re going to quick draw on the entire LASD, at which point they’ll all just tip their hats and proclaim “this person has constitutional rights, we will leave peacefully and not bother you again”.
